Free-Wheelin': A Solo Journey Across America

Rating:
Summary: Freewheelin'
Review: A lot of people have bicycled accross the country but Mr. Lovett bring it down to a human level. How he see America through his own self-contained thoughts, as a part of the masses of RAGBRAI, or while being accompanied by old friends or a person recovering from cancer. A vision of American through the eyes of everyman.

Review: I'm glad i'm not the only one obsessive enough to try to find out if Vera Jagendorf is THE Vera. More evidence: the author's residence is now listed as Portland, OR...

Summary: The Mystery of Vera
Review: Just loved the heck out of this book. If you like cycling, you're almost certain to like this book, or at least, I think you will. Halfway through his journey cross country, the author meets Vera and rides with her for 5 days. Eight years after he wrote Freewheelin', the author wrote another book, The Essential Touring Cyclist, working with a photographer named Vera Jagendorf. If anyone knows if Vera from 'Freewheelin' is the same Vera from TETC, I'd certainly like to know. I certainly do hope so.

Summary: Vera continued...
Review: This book inspired me to visit some of Richard Lovett's favorite places. I love when a book has that effect. Even if you are not into cycling books like I am, just reading about the people and places should be enthralling. I think I've reread it about 4 times now. I am also wondering about the mysterious Vera. Since Vera is not such a common name, I have convinced myself the photographer is the same Vera, but I wish we knew for sure...
